Design and Technology [Code: DT]
The main purpose of this subject study is to prepare participants in teaching technology education at all levels, particularly the Design and Applied Technology (DAT) at the senior secondary level in Hong Kong. This major is unique in that we specifically aim at producing DAT educators and curriculum developers who would contribute to the development of technology education in Hong Kong. This subject attempts to focus on strengthening and broadening the participants’ understanding of the fundamental concepts in technology, creative design and society as well as pedagogical knowledge in teaching and learning technology.
This subject emphasises on the generic pedagogical needs in the teaching practices of technology education, and creative teaching methods will be discussed such as thematic learning conceptual framework, procedural/technological/societal knowledge for design and technology curriculum, strategies in problem solving and assessments. This rigorous study will enable teachers to teach creatively from a holistic point of view, as well as to prepare them for further involvement in technology education development and policy making.
